Abstract:

The overall objective of the study is to develop an engineering systems analysis method to enhance the decision-making process in the design of highway stream crossings. This method applies economic risk techniques as well as standard hydraulic and hydrologic factors in the design of bridge waterways. ; Volume I presents the results of experiments to determine channel resistance coefficients from artificial roughness elements representative of heavily vegetated flood plains. These coefficients are used to define the roughness field for use in bridge backwater experiments and calculations reported in Volumes II and III. ; The other volumes of this study are: ; II Analysis of Bridge Backwater Experiments ; III Finite Element Model for Bridge Backwater Computation ; IV Economic Risk Analysis for Design of Bridge Waterways ; V Data Report on Spur Dike Experiments
